LBreakout2 2.5.1 Prerelease 4 (final)

Don't forget to UPX the DLLs and EXEs. Use nrv2e:

upx.exe --best --compress-icons=0 --nrv2e --crp-ms=999999 -k lbreakout2.exe
etc...

It'll take the LBreakout directory from 4.8 to 3.9MB.

It works fine for me.
Maybe I can use this code for my OpenCity Portable (they both use sdl)
*Edit* Maybe there's a way to make it use less processing power

I couldn't check if it left anything, as I never learned how but with playing hte game, even after changing Player 1 name from Michael to Jameson, it would still say "Michael" when I was playing the game.
Other than that, it worked fine for me on my Dell Optiplex WinXP from my usb key..

AppInfo.ini is the one for VLC.

Other than that, nothing left behind at all, game works well. Good Job.

Here they are, really cool game by the way I love that kinda game:

1. Tagline in the help file shouldn't be capitalized.
2. Missing AppSource.txt.
3. Half the Readme.txt in the source directory is for VLC.
4. Remove the version number at the top of that readme.
5. Use icon should have all of the current formats but in XP (32 bit) formats as well, using IcoFX is easy.
6. As Zach mentioned, the AppInfo is for VLC.

And there you have it, thanks for this.

Is it just me, or is the sound kinda bad? Scratchy. Out of sync.

Ran once, didn't really play very long, maybe 5 seconds, closed out. Traces left behind are as follows. Game ran fine, just I didn't have enough lunch break left to justify a full round of breakout at work.

For dev test 3 you say the user has to delete their Data folder for sound settings to apply. Is there a way you could parse the settings file to fix the sound settings instead of forcing the user to delete any custom settings they may have?

both in Vista and XP...

I have been playing this for about a week off and on. Nice for break time at work.

Lots of features/options!

The only thing I would like is a 'Quick Play' button on the first screen. Maybe in the options a way to set up what it will play (random, Original Set, addon, etc)

Hi Simeon,

I play the Linux-version of Lbreakout at home and the portable-version at work. So I can tell you some bugs:

Sometimes the ball starts at once -> ESC and Resume is the workaround
sometimes the background is neon-green-Yellow -> ESC and Resume
sometimes the ball flies very fast at start -> klick the middle button

I cannot find out, when or why the bugs appear.

Good Work!

I'd be interested in the server.

Also, I was wondering if the sounds get lower as the ball gets closer to the left side of the board for anyone else or is it just me?

I think it's pre-release time:

well i'm not too excited about how it turned out but this is what i have so far for the logo. http://www.nascent-project.org/travisc/longerterm/l2breakout2.png . i'll try to tweak it later, or if zach can do better he can make one.

I've been playing around with it on and off for the past little while, and haven't had any problems using it on vista ultimate sp1. Also, I wasn't able to find anything obvious left behind either.

This game works great. The only issue I have with it is that when I run the program all other sounds I have, such as internet radio or music through Winamp, are muted. They are still playing, but they are muted. The sounds in LBreakout work fine, I just don't understand why other sounds can't be played at the same time.
